Dynamic Microphones

  • how do Dynamic Microphones work
    they produce a current which is proportional to the sound signal
    fixed magnet at the centre, the coil of wire around the magnet is free to move
    pressure variations in the sound wave causes coil to move - as it moves current is induced in the coil (as it cuts the magnetic field)
    current is sent to a loudspeaker
  • how do loudspeakers work
    setup is identical (but works in reverse)
    current flows into coil
    magnetic field from magnet and from current interacts - coil moves
    cone therefore moves
    producing pressure variations, making a sound
